coppery lunch
over lunch - it was that kind of place -
she asked me which poets I admired
so I reeled off the names - but she shook her head -
apparently versifiers on t'internet don't count -
so I said blake - as he was the most likely
to pen an elegant poem in 140 characters
but then pope was also a genius at that sort of thing
- and he could be mucky - which is always a plus
with the reddit crowd - god knows
I've read reams of sylvia plath
on those coded websites with white text -
she stopped me - to point out -
- and having done so - smile wiped -
we ate some fashionable version
of old style peasant food -
nicely presented -
